Update (Rates, Art, Life, Cons, & Knuckles)
2 years ago
Hey all, here's an update as well to basically say I'm doing somewhat alright despite some major changes that came around late this year that did some damage but I'm pulling through.
Ever so slowly, I'm migrating myself off of Twitter mostly because of it's fuckups and the risk of my account being locked, which has happened twice before, once with a header image being InNaPrOpRiAtE, and the other with Authentication over a fucking name change to say the status of my commissions and the system lumped me into a group of actual phishing/scam accounts on accident. I don't feel like playing games with a site with ridiculous logic locking me out of a place of contacting clients so I'm making my move more on here and Bluesky.
I'm going to also push further outside the box next year in terms of experimenting with things I haven't set solid ground on because I just feel stagnant in some places. This includes areas such as themed sets of art, prints, and other technical subjects I need to touch on more like perspectives, backgrounds, etc. With variables considered, my commission rates will probably change in the future but not right now.
As well as this, I was considering (for years (like, a lot) ) a Patreon but unsure if that's baggage i want to overburden myself with. My deadlines are inconsistent but having a monthly set up may fine tune the quality of what's pushed and gives y'all what you want. There are other projects as well I'm involved in along with trying out other cons to lurk around... so we'll see what 2024 holds.
Did I mention I was at my first ever con, BLFC? It was pretty rad. I may try another con out once I learn more information and gather myself to attempt another social place and the right resources. Anyways, good holidays and all that jazz.
